Lil Nas X is getting ready to return to music.
Joking his money was running low from his Grammy Award-winning mega-hit “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X told fans his hiatus was coming to an end in a tweet on Thursday (September 9).
“gonna start back releasing music soon the old town road money running out,” he joked.
Of course, with a track that holds the record for being the fastest song to reach diamond status in the history of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), his money isn’t getting short any time soon. As far as the music goes, he’s been relatively quiet since his debut EP 7 in June 2019.
The project debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 77,330 total album equivalent units, and spawned a second hit single with “Panini,” which is certified 5x platinum in the US.

He’s definitely been working, though – as The Neptunes revealed in a January interview they’d been in the lab with him.
“Actually, [Lil Nas X] was here in the studio the other day, we’re working on something for him,” Chad Hugo told Clash. “Hopefully [we will] come up with some other sounds.”
The singer/songwriter has also appeared in a number of performances to promote the EP, including one alongside the other Nas at the 2020 Grammy Awards. The pair performed a remix to the 7 cut “Rodeo,” then released a visual to the collab soon after.

Still sold more than SnitchNine’s latest Album first week sales with his 7 EP tho lol
Actually, 69 sold over 100k, billboard just didn’t count all because they were part of a bundle, but it still sold.
Bundles are pretty much like cheating the system anyways. Guess he didn’t get the memo from Billboard about that.
You’re clueless…. the majority of artist do it. Especially all the big name artist. 69 is the one that called out billboard for allowing bundle sales to count. In retaliation, I’m guessing, they finally decided NOT to count bundle sales, starting with 69 album. Which is kinda funny.
69 be a snitch and a bitch Big Seans album will outsell his!
This booty warrior is an industry plant.
